Description

This presentation introduces a scalable model for supporting language learners beyond classroom boundaries. By integrating online resources, peer groups, and workshops into a self-access learning centre hosted on MS Teams, institutions can offer flexible, autonomous learning without physical space constraints. Attendees will gain insights into the development and management of this multi-faceted support system, designed to enhance academic engagement and skill development while addressing the limitations of traditional, semester-bound instruction.

Summary

This presentation explores a multi-faceted support system, including online resources, workshops, and peer groups to support language learning outside the classroom. With limited instructional time and the need for autonomous learning increasing, strategically integrating self-access learning resources into a platform like MS Teams, support is accessible without physical space constraints. By sharing the development and management of these resources, this talk will offer a scalable model for institutions to promote autonomous learning.
